The Micta (ミクタ) is a Japanese subminiature camera, only known from an entry in Kokusan kamera no rekishi.[1] It takes 50 exposures on 16mm film, and has lever advance.[2] The shutter consists of a rotating drum, and gives T, B, 1–400 speeds.[2] The 20/3.5 lens has a built-in filter, which is perhaps retractible.[2]
The Micta was made at prototype level only by Takahama Sachi (高浜祥), perhaps in 1952–3.[3] Takahama Sachi is most probably the name of an individual, and the project was perhaps not backed by a company when it was announced to the press.
